Greg or Grey - I wasn't so sure.
There's going to be a Ianto episode? Cool.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I don't know whether there will be one. But if there is, I'll look forward to it.

And "Greg" (that was John's departing word, yes?) is obviously setting up the season's arc. Which equally obviously will involve Jack's mysterious past.
I thought Grey as well.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Fay, you are right. I was confusing two characters.
I think it is the intent of the writers is that Jack is a really bad manager, at least in a conventional sense. He was a rogue - well, no need to mention to be on the safe side, but a guy who didn't take orders all that well, ultra-competent, but also ultra-independent, and never big with following rules. And even though he knows better, I think a big part of him expects that from anyone who works for him. "Rules are rules" is expressing an aspiration, something he know he should live up to as the man in charge. It is not something he is personally capable of living by. This applies to many of his other principles too; a lot of them are not his principles, but principles he thinks he should have.

Interesting. Well meaning but flawed nobility. I can see that.

I thought it was Graham. Really, I have no idea what it was, but I thought I'd throw in that possibility.

Also, could have been "Greg" with an accent.

not your mom's socks.
looked like a smaller hand holding a larger one in the flashback - which I'm not sure I want...
I kind of like the flawed leader thing - but it could get old. Gwen's meaningful looks are not growing on me. Well, sorta off and on.
Ianto was very funny. also, the fight scene? loved the way they handled that. could have done without the commercial commentary, though.

Oh, I had a thought. How did the blowfish know who they were and what their issues were/are? I'm assuming that the blowfish arrived first and found the first bit of the puzzle, but was he working with John, or was John following him for the diamond?

I thought he was working with John. . . but also - Torchwood seems to have a higher profile - - otherwise how would that little old lady know who they were? So, if he'd been there longer - he would have heard of them.
